YIELD – 4 rotlas

Ingredients:

Millet Flour (Bajra Flour) - 2 cups

Salt as per taste

Water as required to knead dough

Ghee - 2 tbsp

Method:

Heat a clay pan or a non stick pan.

Mix millet flour and salt in large bowl. Add required water slowly into it and knead into firm dough.

Add water as needed.(The dough should be soft enough to be pressed into a roti with your hand but firm enough to hold its shape).

Divide dough into 4 equal size portions.

Wet your palms with little water, take one portion of dough and make a medium size ball of dough in between your palms.

Gently press and flatten the ball. After placing the slightly flattened ball in hand, you go on pressing it , just like slowly clapping the palms with dough in between.

You will have to wet your palms from time to time in order not to let dough stick to your palms. Keep on expanding rotla this way until you get it of your desired size.

Once the rotla is completely round and unbroken ,Place it carefully on hot clay tawa or non stick pan ensuring no bubbles are trapped underneath.

When half cooked on one side, turn it to another side and cook it.

Then fully cooked on another side, turn it to the first side again and let it cook fully.

Take it off from clay tawa and spread Ghee or white butter on it. Serve Hot.
